It's a cold, cruel universe out there, and you don't owe anyone kindness. But give it anyway because that's how we make the universe less cruel.

Ms. Rachel is an absolute hero. She’s gotten so much abuse for her extremely compassionate, humane - and in my opinion, common sense - views on children being hurt and killed in Gaza. But she’s not letting that silence her. Bless you Ms. R.

Totally normal people tell you they're keeping a list of everyone who's wronged them just like a fictional character they created that everyone assumed to be intended as absurd.
Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬
He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!

You know how a thermos works, right? It keeps your soup hot by using a bottle inside another bottle, with a vacuum between them. An orbital datacenter would be your soup.
But wait, it gets worse. Take away that outer wall, so there's just a vacuum. So there's no way to radiate heat at all. Plus
